And one more question: If a celeb, born say 1. August 1950, kicks the bucket on 31. July 2010, do we score 41 or 40 points? - In other words, does the plain year of birth count, or do we take into account the number of years (arithmetically) fully lived?

No fair using my list twice man....sorta. You beat me with my list this year. I will need a bit to come up with the money as funds are a bit tight.

So the second list is your real one, classic?
oh and wait... last year radar had two lists and classic took the spare BUT castro featured in both, so I reckon that makes the second list null and void as you can't play for two teams..... you should both hit the tip jar with whatever you can afford whenever...
